Tiny Seed (Titanium)
A credit-card-size stamped titanium backup that fits in a wallet. Minimal, durable, cheap.
Overview
The Tiny Seed is a credit-card-sized titanium seed backup you stamp by hand and slip into a wallet or drawer. It strips metal backup down to essentials: a small, flat titanium card and a grid where you punch or stamp the first letters of each recovery word. Titanium is the most heat- and corrosion-resistant material in common seed-storage use, so despite its minimal size the card survives fire, flooding and time better than paper or even some steel.
The appeal is portability and durability at a low price — around $30 for a pocketable, near-indestructible backup. Because it's titanium and card-shaped, it stores discreetly and won't rust. The trade-offs come from that same minimalism: the small surface means tight, careful stamping, marking is permanent so mistakes cost you the card, and the compact grid is less forgiving than a full-size plate. Depending on the variant you'll need a stamp or punch tool, which may not be included.
Buy it if you want the smallest, most portable metal backup that still delivers titanium-grade permanence, or if you like keeping a discreet copy on your person. If you have large or many seeds to store, or want easy readability and room to work, a full-size plate is more comfortable to use.

Tiny Seed (Titanium): frequently asked questions
Is a stamping tool included?
It varies by variant. Some bundles include punches; otherwise you'll need a compatible stamp or centre-punch set.
Why titanium over steel?
Titanium has a higher melting point and better corrosion resistance, giving a small card outsized durability.
Is the small size hard to work with?
The compact grid demands careful, precise stamping. Go slowly, since marks are permanent and there's little room for error.
Can it hold a 24-word seed?
Yes, using the standard first-four-letters convention, though the tight layout rewards a steady hand.
